The transparent texture for the holes on the shotgun looks a bit bad, I would rather see some low poly holes but I think there should not be a problem with more polygons. Half-Life originally doesn't have models with transparent textures too, since transparent textures for models were added to the engine with a certain patch.
The field of view trick was probably more useful back in the day when monitors were very small, since if you used a natural field of view on a small monitor, as in the game looking like the real world, you would end up with a tiny field of view and see very little of the world. Nowadays when many people have big monitors, setting the field of view to a realistic one should get rid of things looking small. Not for me though, I'm stuck with a 17 inch one right now.

Wow, what's with this renaming? The old name was witty and funny, now it's disgusting. The old name by the way was "Hunt Down the Semen". And there's nothing wrong with it, first graders should be taught what semen is.
I really hope this was not a request from the staff.

I broke it too by pressing the elevator button before taking the suit.
You wasted a lot of hard drive space by including those .wad files, you should learn to use wadinclude compile option, then unused textures will be stripped.
I found it amusing. It's not that bad. There's voice acting, teleporting monsters, backtracking, scripted sequences.
I answer mapping questions for decades and I don't mind if they never thank. Someone else might ten or twenty years later. But only if you use the forum, not that disposable abomination. Evil is both. Too many rules are creeping upon people these days. Rules that are completely useless, dictatorial and rude. If you want to educate people on social behavior then become a kid's teacher in the primary school.

The world should have stopped doing business with both Ukraine and Russia back in 2014 when the plane with 300 people was shot down. Until they figure their stupid conflict out, admit who's fault it was, apologize to the entire world and promise not to fight. But that wasn't going to happen, because there's too much money to be made.
I guess visiting this website https://www.iso.org is quite a scary thing, since the guy who made it thought everyone has a 4K monitor, that's standards for you, hey!
What I really disliked about the previous competition is that it was extended on the last moment. That was really not nice. Some participants might have been getting out of their way to finish it in time, and then suddenly all their effort turned out to be unnecessary. I understand why it was done that way, to encourage mappers to work faster, but it's inconsiderate, if it's extended, it should be done at least a week before the original end date.

A very well made map, although it's not a great idea to allow the player falling off to death in one place and putting an invisible wall in another place, when the player expects it to be consistent everywhere.
awkook, I know I made it too confusing, sorry. Well, you need to raise steam pressure before firing it. Also, a valve is open when it's parallel with the pipe.

Are you 29? Congrats if that's the case. Had to look that up, my chemistry is rusty. Or is it physics?
Cooking with hot sand is quite common. I've seen peanuts being roasted in sand, and rice being popped so it becomes like popcorn. Or maybe it was salt? Copper sure is nice. Good for heat sinks as well.

it takes a few hundred MB ram to display a simple html page. What is this madness? Back in the day the entire OS would run on 256MB just fine and youtube on top of that. Now that is unacceptable. And it's good to know you don't have to update it because the last time i installed firefox on windows, updates were impossible to turn off and you had to keep declining them every 5 minutes.

Super cleanly mapped and original. worldspawn also has a chance to be at the top of the scoreboard in this map. Gameplay is good even though it lags on my crappy computer, makes me want to get a proper PC... Love the chains too. I still wish the lower interiors had a bit more contrasty lighting.

Awesome looking map, crazy details, cool secrets. Thanks for doing the optimization too. As for gameplay, the only way to know is to play the crap out of it so we'll find out. Windawz is very good mapper, and I think a new map is coming soon...
twhl is beginning to invent the most advanced numeral system in the universe, someone needs to patent it before big companies borrow it to encrypt stuff

Nice, I like ME a lot. What always boggled me about UE4 is it's performance. This seems like a rather simple game but would it perform well on a cheap laptop with all that underlying massiveness of UE4?
I know a similar case and it turned out alright after a few years, but just to be safe
hate me if you want but: stop vaccinating her, or at least carefully study the composition. I dont know how anyone could inject mercury or formaldehyde into their kid make sure she drinks clean water without fluoride make sure she eats healthy, organic food, avoid animal products make sure she doesnt spend time and especially sleep near sources of wi-fi or cellphone signals

If there is one thing that is harming TWHL, it's the use of that disposable pile of crap called Discord.
The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
That's on Windows 7. Why is the executable so massive?
